Outstanding rigging work Gary! It is funny but the rigging on this, Fokker E types, and MS N's scare Me more than pushers! Your overall work is Awesome!

Guy, Richie and Rick - thanks for following the build, and sharing your thoughts along the way.

Really beautiful work Gary, glad you had a spare wheel after breaking a few spokes in the CA mishap. I imagine we can all identify with that sort of accident.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing the finished model photographs. I have taken many notes on your painting and weathering techniques from this thread as well as your book.

Richie

Richie - I hope to get a few photos posted soon in the "Completed" section, but here's a couple I took before the wheel incident with that CSM figure I painted up for it.

Cheers,
Gary

Excellent work, Gary.  Pity about the wheel, but things like that happen.  At least those wheels are reasonably priced.  I think they are a deal considering the detail on them.
Your overall weathering looks very realistic and this model certainly has the detail to catch one's eye.  And, as always, your figure is superb.  I'm quite envious about how well you do them.

Super Gary!

The figure is excellently too. Do you display them at home? I’m always curious to see how people store/ display their models, they’re not that small!

Incredible work!! I've made less use of cyano these days and more use of 5 minute epoxy glue for the exact reason you encountered! I'm old but I can spare 5 minutes....

Thanks Ken - I do love doing the figures as they always add some life and size-prospective to a subject

Well Guy, you ask a very good question. A large enjoyment of this hobby for me is to admire the completed model, and so display holds a high priority. At the end of every project, the newly finished piece gets a place of honour in our library where my wife got a battery-powered display lamp to illuminate it nicely. It stays there until the next model is built.

In my model room in the basement I have a large display case that was acquired years ago from a jewelry shop in town. Although it's full of all sorts of projects, I slowly purge the older models into storage or give them away.

I also have a couple of Ikea showcases, which again are getting full! I've also got a friend currently making me small round bases for the aircraft, and am about halfway through placing them on these allowing a figure or two to go along with each one.

Cheers!
Gary

Those cases are Fabulous, as are the Models inside!

Gary,

Thanks for giving us a tour in your great museum!

I am very, very, very, very jealous....

Fabulous Gary!

That’s really inspired me, thanks

What a great way to show your work. I have no display space at all, I dream of having a space like that!

Hi Gary,
Excellent 'Dove' and figures.
Also your display storage couldn't be better.
Way to go

Gorgeous Taube. Gary. But I envy you those spatious display cabinets. I wish I had a space for something like this...

[kensar]

Great looking displays, Gary.  I see you seem to have a preference for German aircraft?

[Borsos]

A display cabinet to be very proud of!
And interesting to read how difficult the Taube kit is. I bought it when released but never have felt that feeling to start it yet. But how large the challenges might be, you did a great job on it.
